How to set screen resolution in Windows when no monitor is connected?
I have a Windows computer without a monitor that I frequently remote into. The screen resolution is way too small because the graphics card doesn't know what resolutions to recommend. I tried creating a custom resolution in the Nvidia settings but it says that the resolution is not supported by the display, which doesn't exist.
Any ideas or recommendations. I just need to set the resolution to something that is readable from my laptop when I remote in.
Edit: I am using Chrome Remote Desktop as Windows Remote Desktop is not supported by my Windows Home Edition.

It is not needed to set the screen resolution on the machine. You set the resolution in your remoting application of choice. In the standard MSTSC application it is done here:

I am actually using Chrome Remote Desktop. My Windows Home Edition does not support sharing the desktop through Microsoft Remote Desktop. I should have mentioned this.
